General - The death penalty. - View Post

I don't particularly care that much. As there is no right answer. imo.

If someone killed my loved ones... I don't know what I'd do exactly. But, the point for me would be, that I lost them. Killing a the murderer wouldn't likely make me feel better. Because my loved one can't come back. And that's the part that matters. Unless we Mass Effect 2 him :P. And thus, for me, i'm fairly certain killing my for instance "Wife's" murderer wouldn't bring satisfaction to me. But I can't speak for others, so maybe, it should be up to the families victim(s), as I don't have a problem with that line of thought either. I just don't think I share it.

If they have the death penalty, people will be killed that are innocent due to flaws in the judicial system/people. But they still stay and rot in prison anyways. Imo, rotting in prison is a much worse sentence than death. Because for me sitting in a cell with no freedom is much worse than death. But, it's also really expensive on taxpayers. 

really there's flaws in either logic that I'm thinking of.
But that's why this issue hasn't been solved yet, atleast I think... >_>
